Dear Maya
Starring Manisha Koirala, Madiha Imam,Shreya Chaudhary, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra
Written & Directed by Sunaina Bhatnagar
First things first. Dear Maya is a dear little gem of a film that you would want to hold close to your heart. As debutant director Sunaina Bhantangar charts a course through the heart of her beautiful protagonist Maya, the narrative tugs at your heartstrings without being manipulative or excessively maudlin.
Among the many aspects of the film that left me deeply moved is its controlled emotion projection. This could have been an overwhelming story of a beautiful lonely woman and her faithful washed-out woman-Friday fading away in her self-created isolation in the anonymity of a hill station (something like our Bollywood diva Rekha, if she were not a celebrity) until, one fine day, when she is suddenly jostled into a delayed blossoming.
Manisha Koirala plays the wilting flower with heartbreaking integrity. She...
